A new purpose-built medical centre located on an edge-of-town greenfield site, for developer Medical Centres Scotland on behalf of NHS Dumfries & Galloway. Replacing an existing town centre facility with no room for expansion, after an extended and controversial public consultation, the new building provides modern accommodation for three GP practices, two dental practices, podiatry, speech therapy, social work and pharmacy, along with office accommodation for the NHS Trust.

Extensive design consultations were held with users, stakeholders and NHS Trust, and all details of the design and specification tailored room by room to provide the optimum facilities affordable within the strict developer’s budget, before the development could proceed.
